11. 2005 - Last game at Princes Park

[@guyb6665]

Lygon would've been pumping after every match

[@glennarcher6]

Lygon would have been buzzing after home games in 1995

[@downnice95]

I get why they have games at the MCG and Docklands but every team should play one home game every year at their old suburban stadium, Carlton at Princes Park, Richmond at Punt Road, Collingwood at Victoria Park They would need renovations but it's definitely possible

[@MisterPolitical1]

I'm sorry but urban grounds aren't AFL male standards due to profits.

[@ETsAFL]

Could be done easily but Punt Road is very small capacity wise for AFL Men

[@nickhanlon9331]

So stupid to get rid of the suburban grounds.And I'm a Collingwood fan.

[@MisterPolitical1]

suburbab grounds are better than large stadiums

[@leftfield5914]

@@MisterPolitical1 yes more atmosphere!!! They ripped the soul out or clubs when they closed these stadiums At least they were full every week

[@ChrisBeach007]

I was there with My Dad as well who got to experience Princes Park alot longer then I did. My Uncle and 2 Cousins who supported Melbourne were with us as well and at The Tender Age of 13 after 1st going to the Footy at The Age of 8-9 I may have not really understood the Impact of the Loss of Princes Park but now I do after the recent years we've had. To this day I MISS PRINCES PARK and always will til the day I die

[@theantspants1]

Well done Sean Peter-Budge. dont know you but love your passion mate. You are Carlton

[@zaco21_]

Why can’t they bring the old suburban grounds most afl matches in Melbourne at the MCG and Docklands hardly get fans go back to the ones

[@lovehinakewl]

i was in tears when princess park finish :(

[@zacheryalderton5737]

How many years of memories

[@MrOzgooner]

Im not a Carlton supporter, but i do wish they would reopen these inner suburban stadiums again ..The game was much better when clubs truly had a home ground advantage and also added to the spectacle of the game.. I personally never liked Etihad stadium and never will...always felt sterile to me from inside and watching it on t.v

[@guitarherofanchivoo]

I was at the game, against Melbourne, I think we got smashed.

[@MisterPolitical1]

the 1st & last games @ the venue was carlton's home lost

[@ChrisBeach007]

We lost by 3 goals in the end but it did get beyond 6 goals at 1 point

[@toddpowers3085]

WHY did it close down. Ian Collins was the President of Carlton at the same time he was the CEO of Etihad Stadium. No conflict of interest there. Reopen Princess Park.

[@sentimentalbloke185]

John Nicholls out of the clink for the weekend.

[@morganwilliams4676]

Why'd we stop playing there?

[@MisterPolitical1]

because the stadium was too small for afl standards

[@AlonsoRules]

that reason is rather ironic, because the Carlton average crowds would fill Princes Park every week

[@jasonpetruzzelli3299]

waste of a good boutique venue.
